About Me
italki teacher since Mar 9, 2021InterestsTravelBusiness & FinanceWritingTechArt
Hello, language enthusiasts! I bring a wealth of English & US cultural knowledge to the classroom. I have three degrees and have had many careers. Some vocations are software engineer, information systems auditor, radio intern, academic librarian, tax consultant, and, recently, CEO of a company located in Silicon Valley (heart of American innovation).
I am in the process of learning Portuguese so I can become a Brazilian citizen. I am also writing a guide for immigrants and illegal aliens coming to the US...
As for my entrepreneurial pursuits, I can simply say it like this: "I am learning about the fax machine and Linkedin simultaneously!"Me as a Teacher
Learning guarantee... If you are not 100% satisfied, I will refund your money.
I have a master's in library science and degrees in accounting and history. I have a Teach English certification from the International TEFL Academy. I teach English lessons in-person and here in Italki.
I also lived in Brazil for four years, so I understand immigrants...
I have taught library classes in academic libraries. I have tutored students on various platforms and in person.
I am the CEO of a business located in Silicon Valley (Silicon Valley Copy). It is a consulting, copy (writing to sell), advertising, propaganda, and web design company.My lessons & teaching style
I correspond for free on the app of your choice, from WhatsApp to WeChat to Line to Telegram and all the others. I send learning opportunities through these communication apps and share personal experiences and pictures with students. I can also meet for class on these apps.

Jay is a nice teacher. I was relaxed and nervous at the same time. I was relaxed because his advice/feedback was warm. I was nervous because he gave me real TOEFL question. I believe experiencing both feeling during class is very important. Jay can make it happen. Thank you!

The teacher's questions are very typical, and they also gave me reference answers. They said they could send the answers to him after class hahaha, that's great.
